New Hampshire's School Law.

Ex-senator Patterson, state super
intendent of the New Hampshire
schools, has prepared an elaborate re-
port of the last years work, which
furnishes many evidences of the value
of the town over the district system.
Here are few figures and COMPARE
sons that are commended to the
thoughtful consideration of Vermont
voters. The number of school districts
has been reduced to 273 from the pre-
vious number of 1890. The schools
numbering IL scholars or less have
fallen from 838 to GAO. The average
length of terms in weeks has been %
against 90 the previous year, or an in
crease of 1893 weeks; 1854, 1873 was
paid to teachers the last year of the
old law, and $444 ,045 the first year of
the new law. The number of teachers
employed is $40 less, and I54 towns
employ normal school teachers against
l42 of the previous year. Thus the
new school law, says the superintend-
ent, has run through year of mis-
representation and comes forth with a
list of statistics which defy cOntradic-

Lincoln not a Candidate.

A Toledo Blade reporter has been
interviewing Robert T. Lincoln, who
says that under no circumstances
would he accept the vice presidential
nomination. While he does not say
that he would not -.accept nomination
for the presidency he does say that he
has no desire for it and that if there
were any possible way he would stop
all mention of his name for any public
Office. He has seen enough of Wash
ington official life and has lost all de-
sire for it. Moreover he would give no
pledges and thinks this alone will end
all talk of himself as a candidate. A
sentiment like that would tend to put
an end to all talk about Mr.. Lincoln
among the politicians, perhaps, but
not among the people. That's the sort
of man they want.

NEWS OF THE WEEK.
The Escape of Jesse Pomeroy Preve

The Escape of Jesse POmerOy Prevented.
The officers of the states-prisOn at
Charlestown discovered the plot for
the escape of Jesse POmerOy, the noted
boy murderer, just in time to prevent
it few nights ago. 1t was all owing
to Keeper Winslow that his design
came to light. The keeper accidental
ly leaned against the grating of the
window which opens into the prison
yard from the corridor opposite POM
eroy's cell. These bars-an inch and a
half thick-yielded and were found to
have been sawed through and fastened
by gelatine, leaving an aperture large
enough to admit the passage of a man.
The watch was at once reused and
Pemeroy's cell being visited, search
revealed two steel saws in his jacket
lining. He was probably ready to es-
cape Friday night POmeroy, whose
murderous career is matter of history,
says his only ambition is to escape and
murder his keepers. He has been a
dozen years in prison serving life
sentence, and is the most dangerous
convict occupying the strongest cell.
He has made several attempts to es-
cape, which have been discovered by
the merest chance. How he came into
possession of these tools is a mystery
which causes a good deal of alarm
among the officials. He is kept under
the closest watch, only allowed to see
his mother once in great while and
then in the presence of a jailer.
